Chapter 58: The Water Divination
Chapter 58: The Water Divination
"System, scan the two new skills" Ed gave the system some orders.
[Scanning]
Nen: Change your life force into a special energy.
Shunpo: movement skill.
'Isn't the description really vague? Well, whatever' Ed focused on the important question to ask. "Why don't the skills have a grade?" Ed noticed that his new skills didn't belong to any grade. He knew they were very useful and powerful skills to have but still felt uncomfortable at this.
[These skills would keep growing with the user as he keeps getting stronger. This means that they would never be at a certain rarity forever. The Shunpo skill, for example, would become better than supreme grade skills if the user is strong enough]. The system's explanation gave Ed a great deal of relief as well as confidence. Skills that grow strong with you were more than he could ever ask for.
Ed went into the training room and locked the door. Immediately, he mimicked what he had seen before and used Ren. His aura exploded out of his body and the air shook inside the room. Both Ed and Raikou were surprised at this, and Ed quickly used Ten making his aura smooth around his body. The only reason Ed had this much control over his aura was thanks to him practicing KI control every day, making this a child's play for him.
Ed finally used Zetsu and looked back at Raikou. "Raikou, I'm going to help you open up the pores that are closing your aura" He made his way to Raikou and was going to use the Initiation ceremony. He wasn't afraid of injuring him due to his inexperience because firstly Raikou was strong. Secondly, Ed had enough control over his aura not to make fatal mistakes.
Ed made an influx of his aura enter Raikou. The latter's aura was released and again, the air in the room shook. Raikou's aura looked much fiercer than Ed's. Soon enough, he used Zetsu as if it was natural to him.
Ed similarly did the Initiation ceremony with each one of his other monsters. Every one of them quickly controlled their aura and used Zetsu to keep it in check.
"System use one upgrade card on each one of Gobuta, Goburou and Garu" Ed was satisfied with his monsters' performance and decided to use his cards to upgrade them. He wanted to evolve his Sharingan at first but decided against it. He wasn't an Uchiha and using Mangekyo Sharingan in his current state would drain him completely. Even the system decided against it, saying he should wait until he breaks into Earth Establishment real at least.
[Upgrading please wait]
Congratulations Gobuta evolved into Ogre.
Congratulations Goburou evolved into Dhampyr.
Congratulations Garu evolved into Werewolf.
'Huh that doesn't make sense' Ed was while looking at the evolution notifications. One of them didn't make sense.
"System, how come Goburou transformed into a half-vampire when he is a goblin. Shouldn't he be an Ogre as well?"
[Host is mistaken. A monster's evolution is related to the blood they have. Goblins have the most polluted blood among monsters because of their excessive mating. The system simply picks up on the strongest one of the types of blood and evolves them accordingly] The system's explanations never failed to enlighten Ed. He also decided not to dwell on it as it would not matter as long as his monsters do get stronger.
Gobuta's transformation made him a bit of a giant. He was now more than two meters tall and he had dark green skin. His hair was black and he had the face of a human with fangs coming out.
Goburou was now a bit taller than Ed. His skin was pale while his eyes were blood red. Garu didn't change much as he had gotten even bigger and had even more fur around his body. However, all three of them had an aura stronger than any monster Ed had killed before.
"It's time to do a bit of testing wait here for a little while" Ed went outside and got a couple of leaves needed for his tests. Soon enough, he was back in the training room. He also got a cup and filled it with water.
"I'll go first, watch me and do the same afterward" Ed activated his Nen and injected the water cup. Suddenly the water started overflowing. Ed stopped and had a big smile on his face.
'I'm an Enhancer. This is just what I needed' Ed had wanted to be an enhancer more than anything. He had movement skills as well as an ocular skill. What he needed was a body strengthening skill and now Nen would be more than efficient.
"Now you guys do the same"
Raikou was first. Ed wanted to see how he would be able to do the Water Divination test without hands, but Raikou simply extended his aura and made it surround the water cup. However, nothing happened. Raikou looked concerned but soon saw Ed moving towards the cup and taste the water.
"The water is sweet. You're a Transmuter, I'll explain everything later" Ed soon asked everyone to do the test after changing the water in the cup.
Gobuta's water increased in volume making him an Enhancer. Goburou made his water leaf move on the surface so he was a Manipulator. Garu had the same result as Goburou making him a Manipulator.
Ed recalled the three of them to let Suika take her test. She made 'hands' by changing the shape of the parts she extended. After taking the test, the leaf in the water seemed as if it was alive and started growing bigger. This didn't follow the usual results making Suika a Specialist.
Ed explained to her what this means and told her some examples that he knew from before. Suika was smart so she could easily understand what she was told. Ed recalled her and summoned the other three and started explaining things to them and Raikou.
After their evolution, all three of them were much smarter than before and understood what Ed was telling them, even though they had no reference.
After finishing the tests, Ed was planning to train some more with everyone so he cleared the water cup and everything else and got ready.
